What happens when I upload content for which I don't own the copyright or don't have permission to upload?

Distributing copyrighted content without the copyright owner’s permission may
constitute copyright infringement and lead to several financial penalties.

If Scribd is notified by a copyright holder that a document you have uploaded
to Scribd infringes their copyright, we will honor that notification, disable
access to the document and notify you of our actions at the email address on
file. If you repeatedly upload material that infringes others’ copyrights
and/or material about which we receive notices Scribd will permanently ban you
from the service pursuant to our repeat infringer policy.
